Black Sand is a Naim dealer. Have you heard these yet John? Anybody heard them at the show and care to comment? Thanks!
I have received a lot of info on them from Naim but as of today, I have yet to hear them but I really want to as I like them.....on paper at least!

Rich got me thinking on these so I called up the distributor and they aren't in stock yet nor is pricing available.
I have been warned however that they are going to be very expensive to ship as a result of the weight of each speaker. From what I have been told they are coming in at close to 160 pounds per speaker in the box and roughly 143 pounds out of the box.
I will be very interested to see what the yet to be released flagship version weighs in at it!
I'll be very interested to hear what it sounds like. I have been reading about it. Lots of Naim weenies chatting it up in UK. It went on prototype tour there in the summer. With a set at RMAF one can hope they will start showing up at dealers. But NAIM is not yet signed up for the Stereophile AXPONA show in Jacksonville in March.
If I were to guess their secret location, I'd bet they're probably sitting right here in Indy at ASL Group :drool: They have a nice little showroom if you call ahead...
Makes sense Tom, since they are NAIM US importer now.
Actually, looking at the AXPONA exhibitors list a little more closely, it looks like 4 US importers each bringing their multiple lines, and a couple local FL dealers. Not like RMAF.
Naim makes nice equipment....heard these speakers at RMAF.
My comment....Naim makes nice equipment...nice equipment.
they are in Indy. 8)
